Is Norm Koger still involved with this series?

<r> You all who just bought the game might want to go on youtube and checkout this guys videos, I think they are really well done. In fact just after I bought DW in the beginning I had a difficult time with it's learning curve until I watched a couple of these then it all made a lot more sense ...

Sorry but I love this game and all, but the system you guys use for downloading your games are totally terrible. I don't understand why its so difficult to re-download your games after either a hardrive failure, or new system or really ...

I have DW and both expansions installed. I am wanting to try out those latest beta patches. My question is do I need to install Shakturi beta first and then install Legends beta or can I just install Legends beta alone?

<r> I just had a Sluken empire declare war on me. Looks like I am about to have a D-Day beyond the stars here. Anyway, here is what I hope can take a punishment and bust through their defenses to land troops down on the surface. I vision this sluggish armor stacked hulk getting hammered from every ...

<t> The speed is insane on that Silvermist Destroyer, everything across the board except impulse! I also see weapons and components on that ship which I never even seen before since I end up losing the game before I ever get that advanced. If I had a fleet of those, I could quickly hop to any world ...

This is great because I never even realized that adding reactors increases hyper speed. I thought that hyper speed was only increased through research so all of my designs had only 1 reactor. I just built two reactors on a troop transport design and it nearly doubled it's hyper speed!

<t> Problem I am having in this particular game, the outer rim is basically empty, or at least I think so and I believe most if not all empires start at the center core in ring galaxies. So nowhere to get fuel, at least I have not found any yet and my explorers have to start heading back by the time ...

<t> I had not tried them out too much yet until now, seems a good idea to also use them as an early capital or support since they are fairly large vessels. My current game is in a ring galaxy which it seems these resupply vessels are definitely necessary to get my explorers to the outer rim with ...

<t> I just need a clarification here. I read in the manual and a thread on here that resupply ships can get fuel for a fleet by mining it from a gas cloud or gas giant. I am assuming it has to have a resource present such as Caslon since I have deployed it on a gas cloud without resources and my ...

I also find this ongoing AAR very interesting [:)]

I also recommend checking out those Das youtube videos.

They won't last long at that price, or for that matter, they won't last long at any price!

Haha, LOL [:D]

<t> Ok great our galactic marketing division will be processing those orders right away, just in time for Christmas. [:D] We still have a good amount here just laying up in storage, brand new never used, so spread the word. Only requirement is all buyers of these vessels have to agree to sign a ...

World Annihilator?? Awesome! I never even knew they had anything like that in DW

<r> My ship design project manager has decided to come up with a new design which main purpose was to support the main fleet on it's assault on the Naxxilian Republic homeword. The idea was to build a relatively cheap carrier vessel on a cruiser hull and keep it at size 300 or under. Mixing and ...

<t> Thanks for the clarification. I thought there was a limit to 1 lab type per ship but apparently it's not the case. I just made a design here and if you look in the lower right, it is generating 300k in high tech research. Maybe a vessel like this is not really necessary and I am sure there are ...

<t> I have noticed labs on ships generate 20k research each while stationary bases/stations labs do 80k each. It still don't seem like a bad idea to sometimes put them on ships too since they are mobile, faster and cheaper to build instead of a full sized star base. In my current game, I made a ...

<t> Sounds like I need to re-think my mine like crazy idea. Another thing regarding research stations (or any station at that), I just noticed if I build one on my homeworld, it finishes quickly and gets up and running. If I build it out in space away from a planet, it takes much longer and I ...

<t> There's still much I don't know about DW so maybe a few here can give me suggestions and/or tips. I apologize if these questions were already answered in another thread. If so I imagine they are really old threads and things could have changed since then in patches and the expansions. Is it a ...
